Know the home, know the fault

Situated in east Cornwall between Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, Callington historically served as a market centre for the surrounding agricultural community. During the nineteenth century, the settlement grew into a highly significant mining centre. Today, domestic kitchens and utility spaces vary greatly in size. Older properties generally have different layouts to newer builds, meaning a large chest freezer might be kept in an unheated garage or outbuilding, while a standard upright model is usually kept indoors. Wherever the appliance is located, the surrounding room temperature affects how hard the compressor has to work to maintain a freezing environment. When a freezer stops maintaining the correct internal climate, a continuous temperature alarm might sound, or the motor may run constantly without ever cycling off. Heavy ice build-up is another issue that develops over time, which eventually causes plastic drawers to stick or crack when pulled. This excessive icing is sometimes caused by a split or degraded magnetic door seal letting warm room air into the cabinet. Alternatively, the internal defrost heater or the defrost timer might have failed. When these components break down, solid frost is allowed to choke the evaporator coils, completely blocking the circulation of cold air. During a visit, we look at upright and chest freezers that are not cold enough or are icing up. We investigate the mechanical and electrical causes behind temperature alarms, constant running, and door seal faults. As a domestic appliance repair service, All Appliance Care carries out all work directly in your home. Alongside refrigeration equipment, we fix washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, and electric cookers, though we do not work on gas appliances.
